Fall weather is upon us, and as I decorated the house this weekend, I decided to bring a little Halloween Spirit to my nails! I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri (which really does dry super fast) in Black to Black, Orange Zest, and White Pick it Fence. I cannot wait to show you want I add to them next week!!!!

Have a little time this morning? We have been having a blast with Sally Hansen ManiMatch! ManiMatchTM DELIGHTS USERS WITH NEW INSTANT-SCAN TECHNOLOGY, 3D AUGMENTED REALITY TRY-ON OVER 200 SALLYHANSEN SHADES AND PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATIONS IN REAL TIME!!! Just download the app, and try on tons of different colors! So much fun! They are even running a contest right now. In celebration of the app launch they are having a #ManiMatch Hand Model Contest—its as easy as sharing a photo via Instagram or twitter with hashtag #ManiModel & #contest and the winner will be featured as the hand model on the SallyHansen Social Media channels!!

I will admit it, last month I turned 40. 40!!!!! And my skin at 40 is NOT what it was at 30. Where did all of these PORES come from??? I am not ready to look older, and I am so glad that StriVectin has me covered with their fabulous products. I received the StriVectin Advanced Retinol Poor Refiner just a week after my birthday, and it has been AMAZING!!!

This stuff really works! I could see a difference after only a week of use! It actually can reduce your pores by 1/2 in just 8 weeks!

Woo hoo! Our September Phone Case of the Month arrived and we are loving the Fall theme! How cute is the fox! The colors and leaves are perfect to kick off our Fall!

September Phone Case of the Month Review

The best part of Phone Case of the Month is
it is only $10 a month, but your first month is $5 when you use one of
the links from this post! A great way to test them out! Right now they
have cases for different versions of iPhone 4, iPhone 5, and Samsung
Galaxy-- with iPhone 6 cases coming soon!!!

Do you love a good surprise in the mail? I know I do! I was so excited when EcoCentric Mom asked me to review a mystery box! I just love getting mysteries in the mail and this one was PERFECT! (this post contains affiliate links)

The Ecocentric Mom Mystery Box is only $40.00 and came stuffed with fabulous goodies!

In the box:

Simply 7 Hummus Chips. We actually reviewed these hummus chips a couple of years ago HERE. LOVE them!!! So delicious! Amazon Value: $2.52 (based on a per chip bag value).

Meliora K Laundry Powder. Such a cute container! We think it would be perfect for a shower gift, but we are going to use this one ourselves! Web Value: $9.99

2 pack of Harmony's Candles Lavender Ear Candles. I have been wanting to try these for a while now, so excited to see them included. Web Value: $2.38

2 Branch to Nature Thyme Bar Soap. We can always use soap as well! My son is very sensitve to soap, so we love anything that is sulfate-free and paraben-free. Web value $8.50 each (total of $17.00)

Bear's Beauty Deodorant. I am always looking for new, all-natural deodorants! This one will go to my daughter though, who needed a travel size for gym class. This looks like 1/2 of the size offered online for $11.99. Web value: $6.00

Hue nail polish. I love nail polish and loving this purple color for fall! A subscription to A Square Hue is $10.99 a month for 2 polishes. 1 polish Web value: $5.50

7th Heaven face mask. These are so easy to use! We recently used them at a sleep over for my tween. The girls had such a blast! Amazon value: $2.99

Makeup remover from urbanoreganics. This arrived just in time because I could not find mine!I believe this is 1/2 of the size listed on their site. Web value: $6.00

Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow from The Organic Face. We could not find an eye shadow that was just one color. The size included was .08 oz. Web value: $24.99

Salon Solids conditioner bottle. This is the oddest addition to the box. It is an empty bottle. We can always use empty bottles, but it seems odd. I could not find this item on the Salon Solids website for a value.

Are you looking for a way to stay healthy in a more natural way? We loved receiving and trying out new Xlear products that have Xylitol!

One of the products we were most surprised about was the nasal spray. We had a lot of summer colds and allergies this summer and wow did this stuff work! We were really impressed. And you can use it every day!

I really like the taste and the experience with the toothpaste. It left my mouth feeling fresh and clean and the added xylitol is something that my dentist recommends!

Last, but not least, was the mint and gum. We try very hard to stay away from sugar-free gum that contains aspartame or suclarose. Have you ever tried to do that? It is next to impossible! We love that Spry features Xylitol instead! Healthy for your teeth without the side effects of other sugar substitutes.

So, as many of you have noticed, I have reduced the number of boxes I get. This was more a decision of looking at everything I was getting and realizing that it was just too much than anything else. The lovely Samantha has been covering many boxes for us, so it has worked out marvelously! The one box I DID keep was Cate & Chloe VIP Membership. I just want to share why (before I get to my box). The VIP box is really something unique. You can either take the quiz, or send a list of items you like from their site, and they choose items based on your likes for you each month. You get 2 jewelry items, and then one bonus item for VIPs. Sometimes the bonus item is another piece of jewelry, sometimes it is another item. If you DO NOT like what they send you, you can EXCHANGE the items for something you want. YES, you can just send the items back and get items you want. I did this last month, and it was SUPER easy!!!! So, this is my box this month.

Cate & Chole VIP Box September

I actually did not send in a new list this month because school starting just put me off on my regular scheduling. I completely forgot, and when I got a shipping notification, I was a little nervous, but my stylist really hit it out of the park this month!

First, was the Danielle "Cherished" drop earrings. I LOVE these earrings. I honestly do not remember if they were on a previous list, but I have already worn them twice. (Valued at $125)

Danielle Cherished Drop Earrings

Then, I got these adorable earrings (which I cannot find on the site). I have worn these a few times. They are great for just a casual, every day look.

The bonus item was the make-up brush set which looks like it is really high quality, and comes in a beautiful case! I replace my brushes constantly, so this was a great bonus. I pay $39.99 a month for the box, which is not bad given the items I received. Although I think the prices on their site may be high, $20 for a pair of quality earrings is a great deal (which does not even include the VIP bonus).

Are you looking for freshness for your face as Fall approaches? With the colder weather moving in, it is important to keep your face looking fresh, but that can be hard to do. StriVectin recently sent us the Instant Revitalizing Mask for review and we are LOVING it!!!

First, this mask is different from most masks I have tried. It does not leave my face feeling dry and cake-y when I apply it. It goes on smooth and actually had a cooling feeling to it. I found it to be quite soothing.

You leave the mask on for 15 minutes (or until dry), and simply wash it off with water. You use it 2-3 times a week. It always leaves my face feeling revitalized, so I love to use it after a stressful day. My skin looks noticeably brighter and more even toned as well!You can find it on many sites, including Amazon!

Want to try it out for yourself? Just enter below and someone will get a full sized bottle valued at $62.00.

Are you looking for that perfect small gift for your daughter? We are so excited to review Charm It! My oldest daughter received a charm bracelet for Christmas and fell in love. Since she is only 12, we did not want to pay a lot of money for an every day wear one, which is what makes Charm It so fantastic! I gave her the base bracelet.

We have slowly added more charms for events. We picked one up for back to school shopping and even picked one up for my youngest daughter who has been begging for one. There are so many different charms that the bracelet can be used for small children and big ones!

I love that they sell the charms right at the counter at Gap Kids. I usually pick a couple up when I am there buying clothes for the kids. We can also pick them up at our local Scheel's store. Looking for your own? Just check out the store locator to see where you can purchase them!

As many of you know, I am constantly looking for healthier ways to snack. My family recently tried out some Level products they sent us for review, and we were all surprised by how much we loved them.

My husband's favorite was by and far the Level shakes. They were smooth and filling. He drank them as his breakfast, and her reported that they gave him the energy he needed.
My favorite was the peanut butter cups. They really did taste like peanut butter cups and it satisfied my chocolate craving.

What a fun, fun skirt this was from Gwynnie Bee. It is the Hailey Scuba Suit, and it does run a little big. I would suggest sizing down. The color is bright and the shape is very fun. I paired it with a Kenneth Cole tank. I even had a little photo bomber.

About The VampireDiaries The Complete Sixth Season

The VampireDiaries
continues its sixth season with more delicious drama to sink your teeth
into. In season five, after a passionate summer with Damon, Elena
headed to Whitmore College with Caroline, not knowing Bonnie sacrificed
her life for Jeremy’s. Meanwhile, Stefan and Caroline’s friendship
deepened as they stood up to the Travelers, a nomadic witch tribe driven
to strip Mystic Falls of magic and cast out its supernatural residents.
In the shocking season finale, Damon, fearing he would lose his loved
ones on the crumbling Other Side, made a huge sacrifice to bring them
all back — with catastrophic and heartbreaking results. Season six
follows the characters’ journey back to each other as they explore
the duality of good versus evil inside themselves. Matt Davis reprises
his role as Alaric Saltzman, recently returned from The Other Side.
Plus, the season will make you misty-eyed as the departure of a major
character will turn lives upside down and leave us asking what happened
to Mystic Falls.

About The Originals The Complete Second Season

As Original vampire-werewolf hybrid Klaus
Mikaelson returned to the vibrant, supernaturally charged city of New
Orleans in season one, he was stunned to learn — along with his siblings
Elijah and Rebekah — that Hayley, a werewolf, was pregnant with his
child, and his vampire protégé, Marcel, whom the
Original siblings had thought long dead, was ruling the French Quarter.
Soon, a bloody war escalated between vampires
and witches — the stakes raised by powerful teenage witch Davina and by
Klaus’s bond with Cami, a student with a painful past — and a ruthless
pack of wolves seized the opportunity to stage a violent coup. Now, in
season two, a new status quo must be
adjusted to, as the newly empowered werewolves control the city. Klaus
struggles with weaknesses as Elijah desperately tries to save Hayley —
now a hybrid — from a vicious spiral of self-destruction. Meanwhile,
with the re-emergence of several Mikaelsons, “family is power” takes on
new meaning.
